guErRilla candy is Travis Hay's one-stop destination for opinionated and informed musing about all things music, ranging from noteworthy news bits about the local scene to rants about how the national music media gets more things wrong than it does right.

Cool show alerts typically have a description of the bands that are playing written by Ear Candy, but this time the folks at Vera did a much better job than I could do in hyping this show. I will say that I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of Speaker Speaker’s new album “Call it Off,” which comes out in February, and after giving it a few spins I can safely guarantee that you won’t be disappointed if you make it to this show.

Oh, and one more reason you should make it to this show: It’s Speaker Speaker’s last gig before they drop the new record.

As soon as I get more server space from the P-I (I have maxed out my allotted reader blog space for posting things such as streams of songs, photos and podcasts) you can expect a full review of the record and a sample track.

But for now, here’s what Vera had to say about tonight’s show:

You remember cool, right? The Vera Project does, which is why we’re presenting this awesome show of punk and dance. Headliners Speaker Speaker are working to continue the pop-punk lineage of splitting 90′s groups like Jawbreaker and The Promise Ring. So far, their reputation has been built off of two ep’s and a number of powerful live performances. This show will be their last in Seattle until February when they drop their first full length “Call it Off,” so you better see them now. For fans of the futuristic, they’re surely going to be playing some of the new stuff, and fans of the classic will definitely be hearing all of the early ep hits. Velella Velella, also on the show is holding down a genre which is starting to blow in Seattle: ambient, experimental dance. Their music moves between all different kinds of keyboard rock, and awesome drumming picking up the bottom. Also on the bill is Antelope, from a label called Dischord which punks will know well, and Immaculate Machine who are traveling down here from Vancouver. This is sure to be packed and sweaty.
